Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State has called for increased revenue allocation for prompt implementation of the 18,000.00 naira minimum wage for civil servants.
The Governor in an interview with journalists at the Governor's lodge, Amawbia, said no state was against the minimum wage but the cry over low resources by some states has compelled the Governors' Forum to set up a committee headed by the Lagos state governor, Raji Fashola to look into some of the issues.
Obi restated his commitment to develop the Anambra by tackling the energy problem and has written a letter to the federal government requesting permission to embark on an independent power project.
On Agriculture, the governor said he has asked Micro Finance Companies to inject money into farming this season by giving out loans to farmers on low interest rates.
